Joe | Class of 2015

Joe is easy going and up for anything! We had a lot of fun exploring downtown for his senior session. Joe plays the electric bass and is starting to write his own music. I heard he even reads poetry! He also enjoys movies, Xbox, and fishing. I hope your senior year is the best yet!

More from Joe....

I was…withdrawn

I think…methodically

I wonder…what will come

I wish…I was batman

I save…my money

I always…procrastinate

I believe…in Santa

I promise…to protect my family

I love…food

Keegan | Class of 2015

Keegan is quite the character! He had a little too much fun with his senior questionnaire (see answers below!). He says he was “raised by a pack of wolves” – but I met his parents (and brother) during the session and I would have to disagree! You will most likely find him on his snowboard up at Mt. Spokane this winter and he is hoping to attend WSU after he graduates. I am not taking his less-than-enthusiastic answers to heart, because under that cool exterior is a big sweetheart! Have a fabulous senior year!

Keegan's thoughts...

I was…raised by a pack of wolves.

I am…2 cul 4 skul.

I think…this whole thing is stupid.

I wish…I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl and if I did I would call her.

I (can’t) save…my brother from his stupidity.

I always…clean behind my ears.

I can’t imagine…wasting another minute of my life writing this.

I believe…I can fly.

I promise…to never do this again.

I love…long walks on the beach.

Emma - Mead HS Senior Model Rep Class of 2015

I could have posted every single photo from this session (and I almost did!) because every single photo was fabulous! Emma is my first Senior Model Rep from Mead High School and I am thrilled to have this sweet girl representing Leaving A Mark Photography for the 2014-15 school year! I first met Emma last summer when she came along for Kelli's senior session...it's so fun to get to work with her this year as a Senior Model! I am already looking forward to her full session in July...she is a natural in front of the camera!

Senior sessions are filling up fast! Find out more details here or call 509-981-7403.

Hill Family

This session took place in September, but I was under strict instructions to keep the images under wraps until after the holidays and Christmas cards were mailed! It was hard to keep them secret because it was such a fun & unique session! I will be the first to admit that I was hesitant to take on the request of a "paparazzi" style shoot  - only because it was new territory for me. I think I even tried to talk them out of it at one point or maybe I was trying to talk myself into it?! But James, Stacy, and their FIVE kiddos were determined to pull it off and I really do love the finished product. I love that all the kids (yes, they have FIVE!!) were so involved in picking out their outfits and the props - note the sunglasses, scarves, big purses, mobile devices, Nordstrom bag, Starbucks - all intentional! Such a fun evening with this crew! I hope they come up with something "new" for me to take on next time!!!

Rosie raises her hands up when you say, "Praise the Lord, Rosie!"  Love that!

Vaughan Family

When Danielle first booked her session she said, "just pictures of the kids." What?! Naturally, my response was..."Sorry, not happening. You and Justin have to be in the photos as well. Seriously, I know you don't have a recent photo of the FOUR of you together!"

See, I knew they just needed a teeny tiny push in the right direction and I am so glad it worked. Aren't they a beautiful family?! I have photographed "just the kids" in the past (long before Leaving A Mark was a reality) and I am so very grateful for those practice sessions!!!

Whitney | Class of 2014

I adore this girl and can't thank her enough for taking a chance on me and agreeing to be my very first Senior! Whitney is so beautiful (inside + out!), a cheerleader, a dancer, a lifeguard, former Miss Inland Empire's Outstanding Teen, and so much more. She is wise beyond her years, soft spoken, easy going, and beautifully confident. And last but not least, she pretty much drove the early morning band carpool for her little sister (and my daughter) all last year when she was just a junior in High School. I have known her since she was in elementary school and it's hard to believe that she is starting her Senior Year!!! I can't wait to see all the fabulous things she will do this coming year. Her future is bright!

From Whitney...

I am excited for what my future holds.

I think that every single second of my life is a chance to better someone else’s life, and that no one should take such a powerful gift as that for granted.

I wonder what my life would be like if I wasn’t blessed with the opportunities I have been thus far.

I wish to do something great with this life I’ve been given, and to live every second for god.

I savor every moment that I get to spend with my friends and family.

I can't imagine my life without the people I have supporting me now.

I believe that everyone has the potential to be great but it’s the choice you make to be great that sets you apart from the rest.

I promise myself that I will be able to look back on my life when I’m older and confidently say that I have made a positive difference in at least one person’s life.

I love my family, friends, god, and every single person who has left a mark on my life whether good or bad because it has helped shape the person I am today.
